We are so excited to announce our first partnered challenge with Wix.
Running through July 07, the Wix Studio Challenge provides an opportunity to develop with one of the most popular and in-demand website building solutions the internet has to offer. There is one prompt for this challenge, and one way to win the entire $3,000 prize pool. 
Flex your JavaScript skills while leveraging the Wix Studio low-code environment to create a slick user experience. Your submission will be a demonstration of real-world product development you’ll want to add to your portfolio!
Our Prompt
For this challenge, your mandate is to build an innovative eCommerce experience with Wix Studio. Wix offers a powerful visual builder as well as a JavaScript-based development platform that enables you to create dynamic and interactive web experiences. You have full control of your site, from frontend design to backend functionality.
We just have one requirement for this challenge: You should leverage Wix’s set of APIs and libraries to enhance your users’ shopping experience. The more features, the merrier.
Heads up
Incorporating Service Plugins in your app is a powerful way to enable further customization of your shopping experience. However, these will be at the center of a future challenge 
. So you are advised to build primarily around the other APIs at your disposal for this challenge.
Of course, we hope to see you participate in this and all future Wix Challenges!
Judging and Prizes
For the first time ever, we will have a special guest judge joining us for this challenge! With over 400,000 subscribers on YouTube, Ania Kubów is a prolific software developer, educator, and course creator. Ania has taught tens of thousands of people how to code, from the comforts of their home.
Not only will our winner receive our biggest cash prize to date, but they’ll also walk away knowing they have Ania’s seal of approval. Talk about bragging rights!
Submissions will be judged on the following:
- Use of underlying technology
- Usability and User Experience
- Accessibility
- Creativity
The winner of our prompt will receive:
- $3,000 USD
- Exclusive DEV Badge
- A gift from the DEV Shop
All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.
Community and Resources
We encourage everyone who’s curious about the challenge to join the Devs on Wix Community Discord and hop into their #code-challenges channel. This will be the place to ask for technical help and meet community members building with Wix.
Since our prompt is about creating an eCommerce experience, we’d like to point everyone to their eCommerce API documentation as well as a tutorial on building a shopping wishlist on Wix.
